Community Connections: VP Cristina Buss Featured In UC Davis School Of Education Article

In February, we shared Vice Principal Cristina Buss’ experience traveling to Finland as part of the Fulbright Leaders for Global Schools Program. Her work examining the Finnish and American education systems helped identify educational gaps, needs, and best practices to help us more effectively serve students.

An Aggie alumna, Cristina was recently interviewed for a feature on her career by the UC Davis School of Education. In the article, Cristina discusses how she left the fellowship with a better understanding of the U.S. education system, a solidified belief in the power of interventions, and the tools to drive lasting change here at Visions.

“I have seen too many students struggle to graduate high school without sufficient support, and then enter a future for which they are not prepared. I hope to bring back best practices for supporting all students and to learn how to hold systems accountable for their outcomes.”

We are grateful for leaders like Cristina who center their work around supporting students’ growth, goals, and success – however that looks for them. Visions looks forward to implementing the learned strategies and insights gained from this opportunity to better support our students.
